Who wrote and sang the original version of your man?

Answer

"Your Man" was written by Chris DuBois, Jace Everett and Chris Stapleton, and has only been commercially recorded by Josh Turner. Below is an extract from an interview with Chris DuBois......

"Chris Stapleton, Jace Everett and I got together to write something for Jace's first project on Sony. "Your Man" came about from that. Jace had this little melody for the chorus in the early 80's Don Williams vein. I'm primarily a lyricist, so we went through and took the chorus one line at a time starting with baby, lock the doors / turn the lights down low. Truthfully, the song didn't take a real long time to write. We finished the chorus on the first day and got back together about a week later to focus on the verses. Chris and I were both hoping that Jace would record it (he did seem to be pretty excited about it) but somehow the work tape Chris did ended up at MCA Records and the next thing we know, it's on hold for Josh Turner, who recorded the song for his album."
